Somatic Coaching for Chronic Pain, Trauma, and Nervous System Healing
* Strength * Embodiment * Nervous System Regulation * Pain Relief *
The way you want to feel is possible for you…
the answer is in the nervous system.
Ready to find the long lasting relief you’ve been searching for?
Based in Los Feliz, Los Angeles as well as Portland, Oregon, I offer virtual somatic experiencing, nervous system regulation, pain reprocessing therapy and trauma-informed coaching for people dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, and the effects of unresolved trauma. Whether you're local to LA, Portland or working with me remotely, my approach combines somatic work with evidence-based methods to help your body find lasting relief, not just symptom management.
Despite everything you've faced in life, you have a natural ability to heal, grow, connect and love the way you want to. My work is to support you in discovering what that looks like for your unique experience.
When you establish a safe connection with yourself and the present moment, you open the door to experiencing joy, pleasure, wonder, and creativity, free from pain and fear. You find home within yourself.
Healing Anxiety, PTSD & Pain
If you've been struggling with symptoms like chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, burnout, chronic stress, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, health anxiety, IBS, brain fog, insomnia, or feeling stuck in survival mode, you're not alone. Many of the clients I work with have tried therapy, self-help, mindset work, or countless wellness approaches and still feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies.
My approach combines somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, pain reprocessing techniques, parts work, movement, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to help you feel safer in your body and more empowered in your life. Together, we'll work to understand and unwind patterns of fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and shutdown that may be contributing to symptoms, emotional distress, or chronic tension.
Whether you're navigating chronic pain, PTSD, panic attacks, social anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, unresolved trauma, or persistent nervous system dysregulation, healing is possible for you!
Through virtual somatic coaching, I support clients in Los Angeles and around the world in building resilience, reducing fear around symptoms, increasing emotional regulation, and creating lasting change.
I love giving you the container to support you in feeling more calm, connected, confident, and able to fully participate in the life you want to live.

Nervous System Healing Community Program
1:1 Stress and Trauma Program
"I’ve realized how much these tools actually help me, they really make a difference..
There have been so many moments where I’ve noticed that I feel genuinely good and that I’m handling situations so much better than I was even a few weeks ago.
My mind is honestly blown by how much of a difference working with you has made compared to trying to do this on my own. I’ve been able to do things that felt impossible before, like driving friends around, which is huge for me. Just a few months ago, I wouldn’t have been able to do that at all.
I’m also able to enjoy the moment more. When anxiety starts to creep in, it’s so much easier for me to notice it, work with it, and let it go instead of feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
I feel more accepting of my anxiety and much calmer overall. I honestly can’t believe it, the anxiety I do feel is so much less intense than it used to be."
